There are two interpretations of "Private Jet Charter". First, is that you utilize someone's personal jet for your travel, or in aviation terms, where you charter a jet for your own personal use and that aircraft is operated by a certified air carrier. Both look alike, but the aircraft we provide and the aircraft operated by certified air carriers have a huge built-in safety factor. The major differences are:

Private Jet Charter - Using someone's personal jet (Part 91)

Maintenance - Parts replaced when they break

Pilots - Receive their pilot's license for life. Future testing is not required

Maintenance - FAA determines when a part will fail. All parts and components on the aircraft are replaced per FAA time limits. FAA time limits insure the part will be replaced prior to it's potential failure.

Pilots - Pilots must meet minimum charter requirements. Upon hiring, and every six months after, pilots receive 5 to 10 hours of training in every emergency possible on the aircraft they are flying which is followed by an oral, written and flight exam which can be failed.

Air Charter Company - The company and its records, aircraft and pilots are subject to inspection at any time. If any discrepancy is found, the company can be shut down until they are in compliance again.

Fractional Jet Charters

Fractional Jet Charters fall under the first category, since you own the aircraft. Many of these companies say they operate to the same standards as the FAA part 135 air charter operators, however, if they decide not to comply with a regulation, no one will know, as they are not subject to FAA examination.

Besides the above safety factors, flying in a Private Jet Charter is the ultimate in travel. Many times you can drive your car right up to the aircraft to load your luggage, park your car for free, and walk on to your aircraft and be immediately whisked away to any destination your heart's desire. Enjoy the privacy and solitude that flying in your own aircraft can only provide. Conduct business meetings in total secure environments and without any interruptions. Enjoy your personally selected catering.

Air Denver brings all this to you, and at the lowest cost available.

Give'em a try, you will love the service!

If you need an air ambulance anywhere in North America, Air Denver is the one to call. Every Air Ambulance charter operator is in their data base, and can usually find you the best aircraft under 20 minutes and at the lowest cost.

Air Ambulance charters have their own set of additional requirements. First we need to know the condition of the patient, and any special needs they may have, such as needing a ventilator, or if we are transporting an infant.

Our flight nurse will need to coordinate with the hospital's staff on the condition of the patient. The patient's doctor will also have to sign a release allowing the patient to travel by air.

This phone evaluation will determine the number and the type of flight nurse(s)/physician that will be necessary to provide the best care for the patient.

If needed we can arrange for bed to bed transport. This is where we set up a ground ambulance to pick the patient up at their current hospital, bring them to the aircraft, fly them to their new destination, and then have an ambulance meet the aircraft and take the patient to their new hospital.

If you have a large group of people that you want to move effortlessly, then chartering an entire airliner might be the solution.

The benefits and options are staggering!

Many more airports to choose from so that your departure and arrival airports may be closer to where you are departing from and where you are actually going to.

Set your own departure or arrival times. Your schedule is our schedule, pending any government restrictions.

FBO or Fixed Based Operator departure and arrival. FBO's are where general aviation pilots/aircraft access the airport's facilities. FBO's are the friendlier and easier access portal to the airport. Many offer free parking and offer executive accommodations in their lounges.

If your group is coming by bus, we can arrange for bus to aircraft boarding, and have the luggage loaded directly using the FBO's facilities.

If everyone is arriving separately and on different airlines, terminal departures and arrivals may be more convenient. We do these too!

Have your luggage transported effortlessly.

Knowing everyone on the aircraft!

Being able to choose your own catering and beverage service. Open bars are available as well as no alcohol flights.

Having your individual or groups needs taken care of.

The possibilities are endless. Please let your Air Denver Charter Coordinator know the details of your transportation movement so that we can customize your service to your exact needs. When your needs change, let us know so that we can customized your options!

When chartering an entire airliner, there are a few questions you have to ask to keep yourself legal. Are you a single entity or do you need to file as a "Public Charter"

Single entity charters

Single entity charters , are air charter flights where the entire cost of the aircraft is paid for by a single person, company or organization. Passengers on single entity charters do not and can not pay for their individual seats. Examples of this are where a college sends it foot ball team or band to a "Bowl Game", or a company sends their employees to a training session, where the college or company pays for the entire charter, and the individual's do not. If this is true, you do not have to file for a "Public Charter" with the DOT.

Public Charters

Public Charters are where a single person, company or organization charters an entire airliner, and then sells the individual seats to the general public. An example of this is when your team is going to a "Bowl Game" and the fans want to come to join in the fun.

A good rule of thumb is if you are advertising in any way to the general public, and if the individual has to pay for their seat, you will have to file as a Public Charter.

Pro Rata Charters

Then there is Pro Rata Charters. These are charters where individuals pay for their own seats, however, they all belong to the same group or organization and the general public can not buy into the charter. Also, the groups sole purpose can not be for travel. The group or organization setting up these charters have been together for at lease six months prior to the charter. If you are in this category, you will have to file as a Public Charter, but without having to put up the money for the Surety Bond normally associated with Public Charters.

Your Air Denver Charter Coordinator will be able to answer your questions and assist you with the necessary filings. We will file the necessary forms on your behalf, however, monies for filing fees and bonding requirement will be your responsibility.

Many times there is only a minimal amount of time from the time you find out you need a charter, to when the charter actually goes. Air Denver can arrange and set up your air charter, and have your DOT paperwork filed in as little as a day or two.

In Air Denver's 30+ year history, they have filed hundreds of Public Charter Prospectuses for our customers. Everyone has been completed on time and a 100% success!

Please see "Public Charters" for an overview of what is required and the monies needed to set up a "Public Charter"

Notes: The Department of Transportation can fine charterers up to $1,000 per seat on charters where individual seats where sold, and the charter was not filed as a "Public Charter". You are not allowed to advertise your charter, until you have your charter filed for, and have received your Public Charter Number.

Freight is practically Air Denver's middle name. About 40% of their business is Air Cargo Charters. If you need to get it there now, and need to get everything right the first time, you have come to the right place.

There is much more to an air cargo charter than meets the eye. First you need an aircraft that will accommodate your air cargo. An extra inch in the wrong place, and the cargo will not fit.

Then there is the loading and off-loading. If you don't have the proper equipment, things don't always go so well, and there is always the possibility of damaging the air charter aircraft.

With Air Denver in charge of your important air cargo's transportation, your worries are over. In their 30+ years, they have always delivered their customers goods to their desired location. There have been hiccups, but it is how you handle the hiccups that keeps customers coming back.

Most of the hiccups come from when accurate dimension are not given, or when the quantity multiplies. It is amazing how freight grows. To insure the best air charter aircraft for your air cargo charter, please have accurate measurements. Ball-parks can work for starters, but again, an extra inch can throw off the whole quote.

Also, check to see if the cargo size can be broken down. Pallets are easy to transport by truck, but on an aircraft we may not have the room.

To insure a smooth Air Cargo Charter please have/know the following:

Accurate dimensions of each piece

Accurate count of pieces being shipped.

Accurate weight of the total shipment

Ask if the pallets can be broken down into smaller commodities

Ask if the item can be tipped without damaging it

Ask if speed or cost is more important

Ask what time the shipment needs to arrive

What services to expect from Air Denver for your Air Cargo Charter

Fast and courteous service

Aircraft and availability in 30 minutes or less - 24/7

The best aircraft at the lowest price available

The names of the Fixed Base Operators to be used. Their location on the field, their address and phone number at the departure airport and arrival airport

Who will be loading and un-loading the aircraft and type of equipment

Name of company/person delivering/picking up the freight, along with contact numbers

Aircraft's tail number, colors of the aircraft, company operating the aircraft, pilot or crews name and cell phones

Billing arrangements

Flight following phone calls when:

The aircraft arrives

When the aircraft is loaded, and when it departs.

If there is an fuel stop, when the aircraft arrives, and departs fuel stop.

When the aircraft arrives at the final destination

When the cargo if off-loaded, and who signed for it

Air Denver's role is usually getting your cargo from one airport to another. Trucking cargo to your air cargo charter is not their forte. However, if you need help, they will do their best to assist you.

A few of their freight forwarders thought by working with Air Denver, and seeing how they operate, could manage their own air cargo charters. They tried it, then came back to us immediately saying the consistent service they provide is what they need for their customers.

Working with thousands of air charter companies on a daily basis for 30+ years has given Air Denver an insight to making air charters go smoothly and as promised all the time. Give Air Denver a try!

One-way air charters are aircraft that are used only one-way, however, the client had to pay for the return flight. This gives the air charter operator the ability to sell the return flight at a significantly discounted price. Normally, the flight is priced at the regular rate, but just for the portioned flown, thus giving you a price much lower than a full fare air charter.

There are literally hundreds of air charter operators that notify Air Denver daily about their one-way air charters. If you need to get someplace fast, and can come back commercially or if you are only going one way, this is a great way to travel.

Most of the one-way air charters we are notified about are for jet aircraft. If you are going east or west, or from the New York area to Florida, there is a good chance of getting a jet aircraft.

If your request comes late night, there will be fewer one-way air charters available, mainly due to pilot duty time. However, give us a call and let us work our magic!
